Hi All,
I've seen the summaries by some of the other people asking questions about
the time-zone.
Can someone please tell me where does the shell get it's TZ variable from.
Why is it sometimes missing (causing the shell and utilities to think it is
at GMT) ?
Where does init and sched get their timezone information from? I assume
cron jobs inherit this variable from the environment of their parent
process.
Running zic -l seems to set the timezone (after a reboot - is that the only
way to change env variables such as the timezone for init and sched ? )
Truss seems to show that zic -l calls "link" to create a hard-link? And is
my understanding that zic -d "compiles" the timezone source files in the
specified directory accurate? Truss is quiet about what zic -d does!
Thanx,
_Johan
